I want to add an user from java program. I did this in Red Hat linux. The code was... Runtime.getRuntime().exec("adduser "+uName); In Slackware the command is different. I tried to use useradd -s /bin/bash username It works but cannot provide password. I couls use useradd -p userpassword username But the password should be encrypted using crypt(3). But i could not encrypt the password. If I could I could have create the user with password. So, If anyone can help me about this, it will be a great help for me. ahsan
